This feature allows to dynamically (at runtime) set foreground and

+modes (title only, slave window and menu mode).
-The input must be in the following format:
+Syntax:
- * Setting only the foreground color:
+Foreground color: ^^fg(color)
+Background color: ^^bg(color)
- ^fg(red)I'm red text ^fg(blue)I am blue
- Escaped version, if you view this file with dzen:
- ^^fg(red)I'm red text ^^fg(blue)I am blue
+These commands can appear anywhere and in any combination in dzen's
+input. The color can be specified either as symbolic name (e.g. red,
+darkgreen, etc.) or as #rrggbb hex-value (e.g. #ffffaa).
+Doubling the '^^' character removes the special meaning from it.

+Some examples:
- ^bg(#ffaaaa)The ^fg(yellow)text to ^bg(blue)^fg(orange)colorize
+ Input:
+ ^^fg(red)I'm red text ^^fg(blue)I am blue

- ^^bg(#ffaaaa)The ^^fg(yellow)text to ^^bg(blue)^^fg(orange)colorize
+ Resulting in:
